The Introverted Detective

 I am going to buy Ooblets one day and have decided to do my research on starting off on the right foot. Join me in finding the best hints and tips for this game.  Courtesy of Wallpaper Cave I have watched someone play this, but not as much as other games. Today I'm depending on all my sources to tell me what is important. Ooblets is a farming game that involves little creatures, and these creatures do dance battles. It is adorable and I want it. I have patiently waited for Steam to have it. Now that they do, I want to know how to start off on a good note.  Energy and materials What I did see on my playthrough is that energy is quickly spent. It is best to drink beanjuice and take power naps (as the game allows you to nap or sleep until morning). Stay fed. Oobsidian is something you should keep early on in the game. Clothlets are also needed items. Shells are on the beach. You should pick them up, but make sure you sell only some and not all of them.  Items in homes ...

 Starting out on Fae Farm? Let's talk strategy before you get too far in the game.  Courtesy of games.mxdwn.com There is no wrong way to do a farming game, but there are ways you can get yourself off to a great start. Here is some insider information on how to make a lot of money right away, get your stats up, and generally what you might want to do early on rather than later.  The main quest I wouldn't say that you have to rush to finish the main quest, but I would say you need it to upgrade your tools, your magic staff, and open areas of the game. You can then make the island safer for more people, who then show up to give you quests. You also unlock items this way, making way for more crafting and fun. I'd focus on the main quest if I were you. It'll give you more resources to play with and more to do. Not all items unlock right away, so be patient. You'll find it later. The game is huge. You have many areas to explore and discover. You'll find that item even...

 Do you have five or more shifts in a row? Did you sign up for something that has left you with no recovery days? Do you have a major week-long event? Let's talk about how to keep your social battery above the negative numbers.  Courtesy of Thriftyintrovert.com Picture it, you signed up to do a major event.  You have to work on it all week in a place that doesn't qualify as a recharge zone. You are an introvert that needs a mental/social break. How do you keep your energy in the positive numbers? That is today's conundrum.  In case any of you reading this are not introverts, I'll explain. Social energy is lower in introverts, who need more time alone to recharge and process their thoughts and day. If we don't have that we are not at our best. Results may vary when we are not at our best. For example, we may be curt and short with people, barely adding anything to a conversation and only nodding. Other times we just avoid people. Some get really rude and snarky. Agai...

As an avid reader, I have discovered that people interrupt. Some people don't even notice you are into your book or don't bother to care that you are reading. Let's talk about whether a physical book or an ebook gets more interruption and why.  Courtesy of Pinterest I did a thing! I have done an experiment for four months. After two months of logging interruptions when reading a physical book, I switched to reading ebooks in public (and logged those interruptions). Here is my data and theories on why we are interrupted and what form of book prompts more interruption. Please note that this experiment was less consistent than I'd hoped (as my work schedule dictated when I was in the breakroom). Let's define interruption, though. In my case, it was defined as an unnecessary, unasked-for social interaction with unnecessary information. What is unnecessary? I'll show you.  Necessary: the house is on fire, we're talking about my published novel, dinner is ready, t...
